That the enactment of the pure food and drugs act has corrected many abuses In the manufacture of foods, spices, drugs, etc., and has forced the manufacturer to properly label his arti cles so that the purchaser buys nothing "In the dark,” Is the unonlriiou* opinion of all persons who have taken occasion to-uiote the revolutionising effect of the act.

I want to congratulate and thank The Geor gian for its part In-the fight. Us col umns have been open to the Decatur- st. business men for the past 50 days in which to express tholr opinions and desires about the paving. "tyt only will the new pavlna^greatly Increase real estate values on our street and turn a larger volume of trade to our merchants, but It will Im prove Its moral tone, as the old dives will be compelled to seek other locali ties and property owners will be en couraged to .build better houses. "Greatly to be desired, however, the Improvement of Decatur-st. from Yongo-st. onward, and the construc tion of the viaduct over the railroad tracks. It Is largely because of the railroad viaduct on Edegwood-ave. that people coming to Atlanta from Rock dale, DeKalb nnd other counties enter the city on that street rather than on Decatur, which Is the natural and most convenient entrance. Jt Is certainly to be hoped that the railroads will accept the proposition of the council and pave the lower end of Decatur-st. and erect a viaduct over the tracks." Other Decatur-st. merchants and business men who have been urtlve workers for the Improvement are H. F. McConnell, of the McConnell Shoe and Clothing Company; T. M.
